Indian Essentials Engelska 2010

Hum to Aise Hain Bhaiya. (We are like this only brother.) Celebrating 60 years of the Indian Republic we bring you Indian Essentials a light-hearted tongue-in-cheek ode to India. In this quirky collection twenty writers and social commentators ponder the mysteries of the Indian psyche and try to make sense of one trait phenomenon or cultural value that is quintessentially Indian. From the Indian male’s penchant for public urination to the Indian female’s obsession with gold from the jhatkas of Bollywood to the melas of Allahabad from our embarrassingly frank matrimonials to how seriously we take our copulation problems nothing is spared scrutiny. And because we Indians like a little something extra over and above what we are promised we are giving away a complimentary copy of Extra!— a little book that tackles all those peculiar Indian qualities that we didn’t want to leave out of the Indian Essentials.
